[@circumventreality3770]

could say the same about going for it on 4th down in the NFL and arguably the 2 pt conversion iirc. Riskier as always but the net effect is powerful.

[@KagedStorm]

Tbf the 3-pt was added in '79 in the NBA, and wasn't adopted by college basketball until '86. Most coaches during those times thought the 3-pt line was gimmicky and wasn't worth trying to make players who didn't normally shoot that far ever go for longer shots. New rules and mechanics can take a while to truly integrate into a game, especially in long-standing traditional sports where generally the game as a whole doesn't change too much after certain breakthroughs. You can really say that around Ray and Kobe's generation of players were the among the first to grow up with the 3-pt line being a constant part of the game so they learned the game around it. So naturally the more generations of players that come in with that rule being a constant, the more they learn that rule or mechanic with the game itself as a whole.

Klay can shoot pull ups or spot ups contested with defenders closing out or in his face... but he often doesnt have to Klay can do this because curry at all times ONball draws the attention (eyes) of 4 defenders, OFFball atleast 2 defenders and even draws double or triple teams actively defending him. Klay can do this because he has been teammates with 2 elite passers/playmakers for over 10 years Klay is also an inside scorer, not as crafty or quick as curry or kyrie and other smaller players, but a stronger slightly slower player that can finish with his vertical or shoot the 2 efficiently, pull up or fade.

Steph makes insane shots just messing around in the middle of games. It’s beautiful and mind boggling. And it’s obvious that his play style is one of the few that allows for longevity in the game. By focusing on a skill based play style he has eschewed the downfalls that so many other dominant players encounter when they rely solely on their physicality.

Greatest shooter no doubt. Just want to make the point that shooting is of course not the only skill that he excels at, he wouldn't be so great otherwise. Certainly not an average player. His ball handling, finishing and offball movement are absolutely elite. Add the shooting and all these skills work nicely together to make him a complete scoring threat from anywhere on the court. Only half of his points are actually from 3s. Not just a shooter.

[@malrulesall9669]

Exactly

[@bulja80085]

His off ball movement wouldn’t be exactly a useful skill without his shooting, he isn’t exactly tall or athletic so cutting to the rim would only be occasionally useful, his 3 point shot makes his off ball movement elite, if it weren’t for his shoot it would only be a quirk or gimmick, because without his shooting he wouldn’t get as much defensive attention so him moving off ball wouldn’t exactly be a problem for the enemy team.
